South Africa fought against the communists. I was in the first year where we didn't have to go to the army for 2 years upon leaving school.
But we had military training from about age 14.
It was automatic citizenship for anyone living 2 years or more in the country which meant automatic draft. I had matric exams in Klerksdorp 1985

"Well, either by evening or tomorrow, a huge “bag” will form in Left-Bank Ukraine, where up to 10 brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are still in the Donbas region, will immediately fall. And just today, the northern line of defense of Kyiv collapsed."

press CC and choose to auto translate to English or whatever. (Ukrainian analyst : believe it or not)


and today

"The Russian army is concentrating on two main directions. The first and main goal is to encircle the main forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass and prevent them from getting out of the bag. The second goal is the blockade of Kyiv"

These are the traditional Blitzkrieg tactics of armored thrusts and envelopment, WW2 stuff, most of the Ukrainian forces will withdraw from the east to more defensible positions to the west. A western defensive zone would be best with short supply lines to NATO and a protracted costly war as more Ukrainian troops are trained and armed in Poland by the regiment. It will get very bloody for Vlad, in weeks the bear will be howling. Russia's military betrayed weakness, Stinger AA missiles strip off close tactical air support, essential for Blitzkrieg operations. Shoulder launched anti tank weapons blunt armored thrusts and destroy Russian APCs. This is the new reality of the modern battle field and these weapons made it possible, The Ukrainians have thousands of each and will get tens of thousands in the days and weeks ahead. This will be fatal to Vlad in the end.

Someone needs to tell CNN the Russian invasion of Ukraine is no longer breaking news.

That being said, I miss hearing stories about anti-vaccine promoters dying from Covid.
Or the people in Kentucky ravaged by tornadoes,or the people still rebuilding from hurricanes,how are they making out,the media flocks to these peoples misery,then leaves when they are no longer fashionable,and don't get rid of your n95's just yet,I'm anticipating a rebound though I wish I could celebrate humanity's victory and put Covid in the rear view,I'm not that confident.

Tell folks there to make fake stinger missiles from junk laying around, good enough to fool the Russians, it will limit their air mobility and tactical air. If the Russians or their agents see people with these fake missiles, it might keep air attack away. Turn a thousand stingers into ten thousand and spread them around.

The Ruble has crashed into toilet paper territory or will when the banks open up, and the republicans are whining about inflation! What till the average Russian goes shopping next week!
There is a run on smart phones and other top end electronics because they know the price will go crazy.

No, drive or walk out, like I said their tanks and APCs full of conscripts with low moral will face thousands of Panzerfaust3, NLAWs, Javelins and RPG anti tank weapons. Thousands of Stinger and Stinger 2 AA missiles will ground Russian air power. These are early days comrade, NATO generals are advising them, NATO intelligence is informing them and acting as a force multiplier. They will withdraw to the west if they are in trouble, the fact that they aren't means they figure they have a chance. These tactics are well known and anticipated, holding the east of the country is not feasible in the long run, holding some cities and the western part will make the war long and bloody, it will only end when the last Russian leaves Crimea now.

Yeah i can get why you would like this to happen: Ukraine fighting to the last man woman and child but only USA wants this outcome. Not the Ukies not the Russians not the Europeans.
